Failed app

Can't set date of birth on

This app doesn't work at all what a waste of app I would give it no stars if I could.

Not accurate

fhxnjsjeuhfkc on

Canada

Great concept but not accurate. There's a place in my area that moved over a year ago that still shows at their old address on here. It's correct on actual Google but wrong in apps Google search. No way in app to report error. Deleted, can't rely on it to be correct if I need it in an area I'm unfamiliar with.

Disappointed

Johnny (London) on

Canada

At start it looked pretty good and useful. The video was very good also. So I got it..... But it doesn't work!! All it does is show 'all'. Can't choose as video showed.....re-different types of businesses to search for! STUCK on one page!!!!!! 4 small lines at top of screen which likely goes to 3 other pages, will NOT let me go to other pages!!!!!!

Hmmm it's a downgrade

LunaSeneca on

Canada

I've tried learning, adapting to use the upgrade app. But sorry, it's a downgrade. Search returns little data. Service titles take too much space. On top of that, duplicate data from different service providers and it keeps asking for review.

Great user generated navigation app!

Easy to use, has inputs from most social media sites, needs a revision where weather forecasts are included and also should include info from Yelp or Tripadvisor so people can see reviews of hotels, restaurants or places of interests around them! Augmented reality works great!

great
